I remember as some others no doubt do, Gary Kemble in 85. Shocking head strike against Cas in semi final of CC and still wasn't right come the final against Wigan. Possibly costing us the game.

If we have any neurosurgeons on here please enlighten us. Failing that I would suspect whatever you are all hearing is idle gossip at best.

Idle gossip indeed by people who wont/cant accept that the guy is injured. He goes with the team to all matches (including to London with his wife) If I were you DJ I would go and sun my self in the Canaries - now that would get all the doomsters moaning.

With gentle and hay at wakey

Spotted him helping out during the warm up too, got my hopes up that he was playing but didn't take long to realize he wasn't.

I,m in Harry's bar now[las americas]will let you know if i spot him

All I want to know (and i assume most other supporters do) is that he is happy to stay and play out his contract, whether he's out for a week/month or 6 months, just that he's happy to stay and play for Hull....even though his wife is/has going/gone home.
That isn't prying into his personal life or asking to much, just confirmation to us, the supporters, that he's commited to the club.
A comment from the club or even himself would be enough to quell all the Suspicions.
Keeping quiet just adds fuel to the fire.

Should the club respond to every internet rumour?

I also remember people rubbishing the rumours about mckinnon wanting out.......

are we really going down this path?

You want the club to issue a formal statement about a random internet rumour?

Just think about that for a moment.

Surely his continual appearance next to the coaching staff at games (including away games) says something about his commitment.

Don't see ALL injured players doing this.

We have a winner

Plus he is doing a University course as well - there is no substance to the rumour whatsoever!

Would seem some people are. What happened with Wade was completely different circumstances. He'd uprooted half way around the world and couldn't settle. Holdsworth's been over here for years. If he was going to have gotten homesick I think it would have happened by now. Nothing in this at all IMO.

Ha! If the club did that with all our rumours they'd never get any rest!
